Stewardship is the care and nurturing of all aspects of our UUCSS community. Many members of our congregation take part in these activities. Stewardship also requires the financial support necessary for the growth and stability of our congregation. We hold a stewardship drive every year in the fall, asking congregants to make a financial commitment to the congregation by pledging a Fair Share of their income. This Fair Share is defined and recommended by the UUA. We have no parent organization that offers our congregation financial aid. In fact, a significant portion of our budget goes to support the UUA locally and nationally, and 85% of that budget is pledge-supported.
The theme of this year’s Stewardship Campaign is our Unitarian Universalist mission of reaching out to others while at the same time building our community. Pledging is the most tangible way of showing commitment to the values we share. Our financial support confirms our commitment to the congregation and allows for future planning. Our 2012 pledges support our immediate goals for the coming year.
